Three Million Woolongs

Intro

Mm-hmm

Smooth drifting through the void

Starless hunger

Hunger that stays

Searching for that bounty man

Verse 1

Smoke rings spiral toward the vents

Stale dinner smells like iron and rainy days

Looking at the terminal

Zero woolongs in the pocket of my coat

Cigarettes are all that I have left to share with you

Dogs are barking in the back room

Sleeping through the spin

Nothing changes in the engine core

Pre-Chorus 1

Tank top damp with fuel

Red tail flight is through

Watch the scanner screen

Hope it turns to green

Chorus

Give me three days of quiet

Give me three million woolongs

I will leave the crew behind

Find a planet where the trees still grow

Maybe pick a flower or two

Before the bounty turns to ash

Before the gate closes tight

Let me breathe

Let me breathe

Verse 2

The mushrooms in the fridge are growing tall

Cooking up a stew of water and prayer

Spike is staring out at nothing at all

Losing focus in his mismatched glare

We are drifting like a kite without a string today

Jet is fixing up his arm

Mechanical and strange

Metal scraping on the floor

Bridge

Vapor trail

Solar sail

Telling another lie to survive the week

Selling a piece of the soul

Buying a little more time

Pre-Chorus 2

Stars are pinpricks on a black map

Nowhere left to hide

Hungry belly knows the reason

Why we never win the fight

Chorus

Give me three days of quiet

Give me three million woolongs

I will leave the crew behind

Find a planet where the trees still grow

Maybe pick a flower or two

Before the bounty turns to ash

Before the gate closes tight

Let me breathe

Let me breathe

Verse 3

Data snacks and colored lights

The genius kid is talking to the ship

Eating crackers while the sensors blink

We are spinning through the asteroid belt

Wondering if the prize is worth the price we pay tonight

Sipping on a glass of luke warm tea

Watching venus go by

Another town that won't remember our name

Just a debt that keeps us in the sky

Fueling up for one last try

Outro

See you space cowgirl

Chasing suns that never rise

Sleep now

Just sleep now
